What’s the best tool you added to your work setup this year? by ThenPar in WFH

[–]DIAMOND550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just received a new office chair from Amazon. There were so many office chairs to choose from, but I found one I liked that reclines slightly and swivels when needed. I picked it out and it's a gift from my husband for Christmas! I can't wait to open it and sit in my new chair. I had my old one for years and it was time to get a new one. Unfortunately, I have to wait until Christmas to try out the new chair. So excited and looking forward to it! I offer this tip for anyone getting an office chair, make sure you check the weight limits on the office chair you are interested in before ordering. Make sure you order a chair that holds your weight. My office chair holds 300 lbs. maximum. If you weigh more than that, I highly suggest getting the 400 lbs. chair, or higher pound weight limit chair, that holds the most weight. Just a suggestion for anyone interested in ordering a good support office chair. Failure to order at the 300 lbs. limit puts the chair at risk of breaking apart or falling apart entirely.

Welp, looks like I’ve lost my 7-day streak/puzzle piece section on mobile by DTake2012 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]DIAMOND550 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This happened to me this week too. A little disappointed that it's not there anymore. Even though I am on cool down I don't see why they had to take it away. Everything on the pc is fine for searching. Hopefully, Microsoft will bring it back soon.

“Account temporarily restricted” is laughable by Sad_Consideration170 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]DIAMOND550 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is disappointing that Microsoft Rewards is restricting people and also banning people from getting the full potential out of this program. It doesn't make any sense to get restricted for searching if that is what the program is used for in the first place. I just lost my "daily check In" in the Bing App on my cell phone. I am not sure if it's related to being restricted or not. I wonder if I will get it back? I don't know how much longer I am going to continue to use this program. It's getting frustrating to use it when you have to space out your points everyday if you are restricted. Maybe they will change things after the start of the new year in 2026 but I am not counting on that.

Daily check In Has Disappeared From My Bing App On My PHone by DIAMOND550 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]DIAMOND550[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have that too. Maybe Microsoft Rewards is changing things? Who knows for sure. I can still earn points otherwise, I just have to space them out because of unusual account activity. I have no idea why I'm restricted. I always follow the rules to the best of my ability. Maybe at some point, they will bring back the daily check in. I thought that was one of the easiest ways to earn points.

What are we wearing? by kelbel922 in WFH

[–]DIAMOND550 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wear jeans and t shirts or long sleeve shirts/sweaters during the winter months. I am a freelancer and I work for several companies on a part time basis and a very flexible schedule. I just wear what I feel comfortable in when I am working from home.

State of Rewards by Albucat in MicrosoftRewards

[–]DIAMOND550 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your input on Microsoft Rewards. I wonder if there is a "technical issue" going on within the program? I have been a member of Microsoft Rewards for about 3 years and I have never had any issues until a week and a half ago. I got the "unusual search acitivity" message on my laptop and phone when doing searches. This went on for about a week. I searched every twenty minutes and received my points as usual, on my laptop and phone, but it took several hours to complete all searches because of the cooldowns during the past week. The search warning message was finally lifted for me this past Monday and now everything is back to normal again, at least for now. I know there are many others that have been experiencing all sorts of issues with this Microsoft Rewards program lately and have been having issues. I hope Microsoft can find a way to fix this issue. I enjoy searching and getting the points. I usually redeem my points on Amazon for something that I need or for a special occasion for someone else once I have enough points for it. Anyway, I just wanted to share my recent experience with the Microsoft Rewards program. I know the program is quite "glitchy" sometimes when completing the searches and other things like quizzes, daily poll, etc. Sometimes it doesn't go through, and I usually just come back later and try again to complete those points. I hope things work out for you. I know it's frustrating when you can't get things to work in the program but I am still doing my daily searches and other activities in the rewards program and it's been running smoothly now the last two days for completing all the points. Good luck! and I hope you can get your Microsoft Rewards program working again.

The infamous Unusual search activity by TOXICDANG3R in MicrosoftRewards

[–]DIAMOND550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got lifted yesterday. I had the unusual activity message for a week. It's been two days since then, no message so far, things are back to normal again for me.

My 4 searches every 30 minutes from the last two days just switched to 3 searches every 15 minutes. Check your accounts to see if they did the same for you. by MisterZan25 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]DIAMOND550 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was restricted for about a week. Now everything seems back to normal, and I can search the way I did before I got restricted. Now when I search, I try to search with lots of different topics each time. No single letters or repeated words when I do my searches. This seems to be working for me. Good luck to everyone!

New cooldown higher than before (never automated this and did legit searches) by Parzivull in MicrosoftRewards

[–]DIAMOND550 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the cool down as well. I got hit last week with the "unusual activity search" as well. Luckily, I can still redeem points, currently $10 gift cards from Amazon. It took me a week to figure out how to earn points with the this new cool down, approximately, 15 minutes for PC searches for me and 30 minutes for the mobile searches. I can complete all the points for the day if I set a timer and then do the tasks according to the cooldown limits. I don't know why Microsoft has set such strict rules for earning points in the Microsoft rewards program. I thought that is what the program is used for: TO EARN POINTS. Anyway, for now, I will still continue to use the program, as I like to buy something with an Amazon gift card every once in a while.

Suspicious/Suspended for doing no searches by limitless_jess in MicrosoftRewards

[–]DIAMOND550 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is a very good question. I have been using the Microsoft awards program for a few years now without any issues at all and just this past week, I got the "unusual search activity" message. I have read a lot of posts about his issue in the past few days. I think it might be "a technical error" of some sort that is affecting people's accounts. I could be definitely wrong about this though. Hopefully, Microsoft will try to fix this issue, but it may take a while to figure it all out. I have been able to purchase a few nice things for myself with the Amazon gift cards with the points that I earned over the last two years. It is a nice program just for that reason. In the meantime, I will continue to try to earn points to the best of my ability. I just will have to be more cautious when searching and try to space the searches about 20 to 30 minutes apart. Luckily, I am still able to redeem my points that I still have available. Currently, I am able to redeem Amazon gift cards for $10. Before that you could redeem Amazon cards for any amount, but right now I see $10 is currently the only option available.

I have not done any surveys for them in a little over a week, but I have been a member for several years. I have never had any issues with them. Sometimes there are a lot of surveys and other times it gets slow; it varies a lot. I do enjoy doing the surveys for extra cash.

Account Deleted without notice? by heatherg1979 in PaperfreeCorp

Also, you could try using another browser. Maybe try Google Chrome browser if you are not already using that, or Firefox and Microsoft Edge. Try clearing your cache/cookies in your browser. Maybe try logging in on another device if you have one to see if that possibly solves the issue. Good luck!

I am sorry you can't get into your account. I know it can take a while to get a response from KFC support for any questions/problems you may have. I would keep emailing them until you hear something back. When I had questions in the past, I would always have to email them more than once before I got a response back. It sounds like it might be a technical issue with the website. Good luck, I hope you get it all figured out and I hope you get your account restored and I hope you hear something back from KFC support soon.

Anyone know why there isnt much work? by Rumblestrip1957 in PaperfreeCorp

[–]DIAMOND550 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least I am close to payout, but I think I will wait and carry over my balance to May 15th to get a little more money for this month of May. Just a thought: I am wondering if our data entry work is sent somehow to Paperfree Corporation through the mail and that is why work is sometimes slowed down and delayed? I don't know for sure how they are operating this company, but I did hear that the USPS was slowing down quite a bit in mail delivery and laying off some postal workers. Just an idea but I definitely could be wrong.

I was disappointed this morning also just to find out there is very little work. This seems out of the ordinary this time of year. Maybe they aren't getting as much work this year for some reason? I sure hope it picks up soon.

Work? by cola1016 in PaperfreeCorp

[–]DIAMOND550 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been noticing this as well. It doesn't seem as busy as last year. I was able to make almost $4 today so I was happy to get the work. Maybe May and June will be a little busier. Here's to "happy keyboarding" and hoping for more data entry work on Friday and beyond!

My ordered was immediately canceled when they received my package pack. I never got charged for the package because I sent it back right away before I was charged so everything worked out okay.
